What was supposed to be a simple trip to Florida for a baseball tournament turned into confusion - as a New Hampshire teenager's name popped up on the terror watch list.

Peter Haas is still in braces, not even old enough to drive and known as "the rule follower" in his family of four, yet when he was passing through Logan International Airport last week to fly to Florida on a baseball trip, he was immediately taken aside.

“They said my pass was flagged and they would have to take me aside for extra screening and a pat down," Peter Haas said, "It's pretty alarming to hear this."

TSA agents pulled him and his baggage aside and began vigorously searching.

"They pulled the soles out of his shoes, the insoles out of his shoes and were looking at his phone, opened up his phone to see if there was anything there. And then rubbing him down for bomb residue, that kind of stuff,” Peter Haas’ father, Andy Haas said, “They said this wasn't a routine thing, this was him on a watch list, that someone else had a name similar to his or something of this nature."

Peter Haas was eventually allowed to board and said agents were pleasant and helpful throughout.

As for how his name ended up on that list - the FBI Boston division said it couldn't comment on Haas’ case.
